NCT 127 'Fire Truck' MV + Dance Practice REACTION | This was an experience!

[@texasteen]

From what I understand, they go through this girl's life "putting out fires" keeping her out of trouble.

[@cherryburn7013]

Yeah they're basically her guarding angels (or firefighters for that matter lmao)

[@judyalaasy8523]

They did a reaction and explained that they’re supposed to be guardians of the young girl protecting her as she grow up teenager, worker, married, old. They do this with her grandson I think it’s like a cycle

[@fearthhereaper9997]

I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING AT THE COMPLETE AND UTTER HORROR ON YOUR FACE😂😂😂😂

[@rjkpop]

😅😅😅

[@natblida211]

Same I love how KUNfused he is, he's so cute!

[@Jaehyuns_Dimples]

Your reaction "oh that is Jaehyun"... yeah I had the same reaction when I first seen Firetruck.

[@sweetyongf]

Ooh finally "Firetruck"! Yeah this was a unique debut! You were definitely starting to get the mv, the boys are girl's guardians and every stage they intervened they were protecting her. When Haechan starts the bridge the mv shows flashes of what was wrong in each stage, a fire in the sandcastle, a chemical fire in the classroom, her coworkers sabotaging her work and a fire in the outlet in the home with her kid. This song...is definitely one that grew on me, but it is still not a favorite by any means, it ranks pretty low on my most to least favorite 127 title tracks. BUT I will say what has made this song so much better for me is the LIVE performance of "Firetruck" during their concerts! That and the choreo is fantastic and one of my favorite performances of theirs. Winwin's multiple highlight moves were super impressive and the move where they lift Haechan is crazy, but the synchronization and energy are everything. Also the album is great. Yes, there was no Johnny, Doyoung, or Jungwoo here. Just Taeyong, Taeil, Yuta, Jaehyun, Winwin, Haechan and Mark. Johnny and Doyoung came in "Limitless" and Jungwoo in "Regular". More very avant-garde fashion, but I actually LOVE Taeil, Yuta and Taeyong's looks. Jaehyun was in his emo-boy phase here. The fashion looked a bit better when they wore it for photoshoots, interviews and award shows, still odd, but fun. They were pretty consistent in giving Yuta skirts and they looked great. Also, this was the era of blonde with pink bang Winwin and his iconic "M.I.L.F" flannel that he wore on red carpets lmao I didn't start stanning NCT until "Limitless" came out, but I did hear most of their songs since debut in passing and when I first heard "Firetruck" it was just a snippet and I didn't even know who it was by yet, but I did immediately skip it because I was like "what the hell is this", so yeah I think it's fair to say it threw a lot of people off. But it was still moderately successful! A lot of people liked how unique and diverse and versatile NCT were even if they didn't quite vibe with the sound always. If you have time you should definitely check out the live stage of "Firetruck" during their Neo City tour! Can't wait for "Sticker" and the reaction, it was interesting to see the debut again before the new release! They've grown in more ways than one and 5 years is a lot of time. Whatever they give us it's gonna be amazing.

[@rjkpop]

Definitely have to hand it to them for experimenting though! They always give us something to talk about and I do love that about NCT

[@cloudybreadcloud]

I'am laughing so hard when you changed your thought whether you like or not. 🤣 That's NCT. First time you feels confused and the second after the song stucks in your mind and you like it so much.

[@SweetheartXO]

After having to deal with EXOs early fashion, I don't even question NCTs. I'm just happy it's better now

[@cmq23]

This. I lived through early TVXQ’s crazy fashion. Everything else apart from that won’t repel me. Thank goodness NCT only went through the weird fashion for a relatively short phase.

[@taecas_oc4940]

I don't mind having 127 as my guardian angels

[@flip4539]

this is literally everyone's reaction when sm debuted 127 in the year 2016 with a strange song, the strangest outfits, and hairstyles. firetruck was a complete different sound to kpop stans during 2016 so everyone was like ???? when it dropped

[@yoitsphulla5686]

Because I remember that time Kpop male fashion would be custom outfits with similar colours but different cuts for each members..then NCT came with the most not coordinated and clashing outfits..its just a rebelious moments for them and definitely a statement

[@judyalaasy8523]

Taeil owned this era his look was 👌🏼😩 u should see the concept photos

[@gabnr]

this was the funniest reaction to fire truck ever!!! lmao

[@rjkpop]

😅

[@huanghannah]

Firetruck performance during concert slaps so hard. We go hype, we go crazy it was really fun especially during the climax "dance my party people" then fans go "whoop whoop whoop whoop" really hard there

[@wintermelon2381]

They did a commentary for this mv on mnet and they explained that they were suppossed to be the girl's guardians

[@scarletlunarosa]

From what I heard was : 127 acting as guardian angels (firemen) every time the Girl is in trouble or having a problem(fire) they would use the water hose to express that feeling. Yes the girl is growing up. Childhood, getting a bad bf with drugs, co worker stealing her work, married life with kid then old lady with grandson.

[@ardeoruge7157]

I love weird fashion!

[@milindawilson9175]

As mentioned before, NCT's concept is based on dreams and dreaming. So that is what I think you see being depicted in the "Fire Truck" MV --- It all has to do with a dream/fairytale. I kind of see it like Wendy from Peter Pan. The NCT members are kind of like Peter who never want to grow up and always want to stay young, and they are always around to protect Wendy. The girl in the MV is "Wendy". You see her as she grows up and goes through life and the NCT members are like guardian angels protecting her from all the "fires" (bad things) in her life. When you see them spray the water this is during a moment in "Wendy's" life where something bad or unpleasant is happening and the NCT members are trying to cleanse and fix the situation. (The squirt guns represent how they are fixing a small thing -- Wendy is building her castle out of sand, i.e. an unrealistic dream without a solid foundation. As she gets older, it becomes fire hoses because more power is needed to solve bigger problems that take greater force to fix.) But like Wendy, the girl realizes she has no choice but to grow up and go through those adult milestones. In the end, you see her as an old woman and the girl you now see in the yard is "Wendy's" granddaughter. As controllers of dreams, NCT helps to change the narrative in "Wendy's" and her family's lives. Sobangcha is the Korean word for fire truck. "Fire Truck" came out in July 2016 and it is NCT-127's debut -- when they debuted they only had 7 members.The members of NCT who were in the"Fire Truck" MV are Taeyong, Mark and Jaehyun (who all also debuted as part of NCT-U with "The 7th Sense" in April 2016), along with new additions Taeil, Yuta, Winwin and Haechan. WinWin is trained in traditional Chinese dance, so he was the one you saw do the flip in "Fire Truck's" routine.

[@inr2277]

the confusion hahahaha😂😂😂 I was also confused at first omg I can still remember

[@julymendeza9875]

Idk about others but I loved Fire truck since the first listen, I was jaming with it so hard for like few months straight. ANd now when I hear it on some playlist or just somehow put it on it still hits hard. And the choreo is full of awkward movements but i high key love it.

[@rjkpop]

I actually enjoy it very much now!

[@nctshorts3441]

Aaah this reminds me of HAECHAN'S FACE in that particular shot 😂

[@kenny-ps7xb]

tbh the way you feel about firetruck is how i feel about cherry bomb, i don't really vibe with it but when i watch performances or dance practice i end up enjoying it more

[@rjkpop]

I still have to watch Cherry Bomb

[@allons_y1001]

The answers to the story are towards the end where they show them putting out a fire on her sandcastle, putting out a fire in a beaker in science class, shutting down the guy with roofies (or maybe he made a bet w/ the other dude? I forget), exposed the person who framed her for stealing top secret info at the office, and they put out an electrical fire at dinner. I was always struck by how well they managed to properly cast actresses who actually looked alike. Can't always say the same for even the big budget Hollywood stuff. 😄 And OMG the color grading on this mv is terrrrrrible! Like they filmed them in a room with orange walls, had some of them wearing orange clothes and even had some with orange hair and then tweaked the saturation on the footage which unsuprisingly hella skewed skin tones. 🤦‍♀️ For such a big established company, you'd think SM would have caught that.

[@cake6787]

YES! love this song and even the styling idc it was so camp... especially marks orange dyed bang things, winwins cotton candy hair, and taeyongs grunge look (if you look up his teasers theyre so good) really did it for me. to think haechan was only 16, mark was 17, and jaehyun/winwin were 19. plus this choreo is ICONIC. the storyline of the video is they're protecting the girl throughout her life like a fireman. (ex. the sketchy dude that was getting super close to her was sprayed with the hose, drug deals happening) get it cus. firetruck. haha. anyways yeah this song gives mixed opinions throughout the fandom and though its not one of my favorites i still love it. peak nct

[@chumchumanonymous6978]

I love this song! Thanks for the review!

[@apainas]

I love this look on Yuta, he's not my bias but i keep using his photo from Fire Truck as my phone wallpapers for months. And yes the dance practice is so powerful.

[@katietotha80]

Yes, as other people said they are basically like her guardians "putting out fires". I love the choreography for this song. I kinda liked the song at first but now I really like it so it grew on me.

[@nctshorts3441]

Dreams debut was just a month after 127 debut and yet MARK and HAECHAN looked so up to the concept 💚💚💚

[@nctshorts3441]

They're that girl's guardian angels who protect her from all types of dangerous (the scenes which include fire scene are the dangerous part , and they as fire fighters spray water over the fire ) As the girl grow older it is shown that they continue to protect her daughter (There is a video from MNET where they explained the meaning behind the MV concept) Sorry if this confused you 💚💚

[@universe986]

I think nct would have rocked the met gala with the firetruck era ugly styling 🔥🔥 (I love it though)

[@tendoheart9928]

For me it also was First listen: Meh. And now it's one of my favorites and i can't stop moving to it lol. It's super catchy in it's own weird way and just fits 127 very much

[@rjkpop]

Yeah totally feels like something that would from 127 for sure! 🤗

[@nctshorts3441]

I love how you understood the story behind this after just watching it for like two times. 💚💚💚💚

[@abcdef-kf3my]

I love the dance practice and the choreo. That was so cool. 🔥🔥🔥

[@kpoppergirl6235]

I dont know about the others but I LOVE this song .The beat is so good .

[@rjkpop]

It’s growing on me!

[@SFVone]

Pretty much my reaction a few months ago 😆 You did better than me figuring out how the girl was in different stages of life.

[@allons_y1001]

The order of debut was; The 7th Sense - 04/08/16 Firetruck - 07/06/16 Chewing Gum - 08/24/16 Crazy to think 7th Sense/Firetruck Mark was also Chewing Gum Mark.😄 Hair/costumes make a huge difference.

[@kristintineeeeee]

At the beginning of the MV you must have noticed that there is a girl who is surrounded by the members…. the members are actually her guardian angels who protect her throughout her life from her struggles… they “dose off” the problem(stress, anxiety,etc) like a hose of a fire truck “doses off” the fire :) You must have noticed 4 girls throughout the MV, they all look unhappy… This MV is actually about one person in different stages of her life- one in her childhood, one in school, one as a teen and the last one at work. The boys have fought against mistreatment and stereotypes faced by women. At the end of the MV you must have noticed an old lady smiling , it is the young girl who fought through all the problems in her life with the help of the members. At the end now they will watch over her grandchild. I hope it helps. I hope you read the meaning behind firetruck first before you watch it so that there is no confusion happening hahaha

[@rjkpop]

No way, lol, part of the fun is figuring it out for yourself. For me anyways, I’d rather not read up on an MV first. But I did gather this just slowly, of course.

[@kristintineeeeee]

@@rjkpop Make sense ㅋㅋㅋ Okay. Btw, we're just waiting for your NCIT House Sitcom reaction 💚💚

[@TheTarcaina]

Yaaaas my favorite song of them!

[@crunchypaully6137]

Fun fact: When this song was out in 2016, many fans (especially in Asia country) from smrookies days actually leave the fandom because the whole mv and styling are too unique lol. If you watch some smrookies videos and they all looking young and fresh, it's literally so hard to cope with the fashion in firetruck. There's even a meme in China: What a bunch of cute boys, sadly they debut with Firetruck styling hahaha

[@rjkpop]

😂 oh noo lol I mean it wasn’t the greatest but I admire that they tried something new

[@neato0123]

When I fist saw/heard this song I was seriously like "WTF". But like you said, the song grows on you. Firetruck is on many a hype playlist now. 소방차

[@ONLYBRITTA]

Your reaction to this is PRICELESS😹 I felt similarly confused-I’m pretty sure they’re like, narrating the story of this person’s life somehow… obviously no one can see them running around blasting their hoses (😅) so I get the impression that they’re just giving commentary on this girl’s development… her life seems kinda depressing and I’m not totally sure I get the point… but that’s NCT for you😎 … this song has really grown on me though-I’m not a huge 127 fan, but this is actually one of my favorite title tracks from them, not sure why😬

[@rjkpop]

Yeah this song has a kinda charm to it. I haven’t fully come around to it yet, but it’s not too late haha

[@ONLYBRITTA]

@@rjkpop I getchu… I think I have developed a soft spot for tracks like Cherry Bomb and Firetruck because they remind me of a lot of music that I love - I have many genres in my bank, like WAY too many… and harder electronic stuff gets me hype for some reason😎

[@simplysweet727]

😂😂 I listened to fire truck, or this album I should say, on a really long bus ride. When this song came on I felt like it was a good song to get you hyped. When I saw the video I was just confused. I wasn’t too familiar with nct yet so I was like trying to figure out who was who. And the video had confused me too. 🤣🤣🤣 I definitely understand your baffled reaction. It’s a good song though. Awesome vocals and fun melody. I saw them perform it when they came to Chicago. It was so fun!!! Thanks for reacting!!! 😊

[@wheres__mari]

no bc the first time i saw this i was like now why is this white child on my screen sjskshk but aside from that ! i’m a big firetruck advocate ! i love the song, the choreo, and the styling ! it’s giving slc punk !

[@downbadnctzen5206]

same lmaoo

[@hyoominie]

11:31 Yes, that's Yuta! Firetruck is definitely weird! The track isn't that unsual, but more of a grower, since the MV really does distort it a bit xD I ended up liking the song and the choreo is damn fire! And yes, they're basically the guardian angels of the little girl throughout her whole life (at the end, we see them go for her grandkid after her death). The MV depicts certain moments in her life, where she was in danger (as seen in flashbacks during the bridge part): at the playground and at shool there was spark of fire, the guy she's dating as a teenager had a bet going, at the workplace someone stole her work and at the diner table with her family there's again starting a fire.

[@Ladybugwaitingformrdarcy]

U guessed right!! They were following the girl since childhood to adulthood putting down the 'fire' in every one of her 'life stages' and then it was time to protect her grandchild This is what I like abt NCT's songs they hit u right in the face lol ... I like Firetruck way way more then Punch... I guess u are right abt the MV distracting you the 1st time I heard "Firetuck" and "Simon says" was on a Playlist while working on my project and it's sound really attracted me and I went out of my way to look for the title of these too hhhhh I discovered NCT around 2017! And baby I fell hard hhhhh their fashion was peculiar (I still think it is not the best tho but...) , I think it was one point that attracted me cuz they were different !! Anyways love ur reactions RJ! It is already part of my daily routine Love🥰

[@SustaJeno]

I really don't get people who don't understand the video. This is I think their most easy to understand storywise. They are like guardians who save and protect the girl from dangerous or otherwise negative situations. From her as a kid up to old age and you see them at the end protecting the grandkids after.

[@rjkpop]

Different minds 🤷🏾‍♂️ I gathered the meaning slower is all

[@SustaJeno]

@@rjkpop it's either distracted by Jaehyun or everyone's hair lol

[@rjkpop]

No I’m just slow haha

[@eve_ss7780]

Hellooo. I'm seriously loving all your reaction videos. 🥰 I hope you could watch their SMROOKIES pre debut videos as well: They're insane!! SR15B - 0701 Dance Practice SR15B - Bassbot SR14B - Super Moon SR14B Taeyong - Open the Door *SR* = SM Rookies *14/15* = the year (2014, 2015.. ) *B* = Boys

[@xxx-oe8xe]

thanks for the reaction❤️. Please react to the NCT 127 Switch MV. In this video they were still trainees, also in the video there is one trainee who left before they debuted his name Hansol he had a blonde in the video. He trained with them for so long so it was a shock that he left.

[@TheTarcaina]

Maybe i'll look crazy AF but i cried when i watched for the first time hahaha, of course, when i was realizing the meaning. Thats why i love this so much. I'm not even an NCTzen. MY FAVORITE ONE hahahahaha

[@fraugoldt4766]

I don't know but this was actually an instant hit for me. Didn't have to grow on me - just liked it from the first listening. I guess, I'm just all about this experimental and unique sh*t. :D

[@rjkpop]

i definitely love it now hHa

[@TheTarcaina]

Sorry, but i had so much fun with your total confusion. hahahaha Loving your reactions.

[@rjkpop]

😂

[@jenniferbl8011]

It is a proper grower....although Punch never made it in my playlist but this did...i tried though LOL

[@rjkpop]

😂😂I know how much you did not vibe with Punch haha!

[@SeleneLedezma]

Ah yes 127 emo beginnings lmao the song is such a bop tho! First 127 song I ever heard and the live performance at their concert is even better!!

[@elliemay6327]

RJ! Love you! Very excited to watch this x)

[@hanamohamed6267]

my theory is that they are her gardian angels or smth like that lmaooo

[@YuniarHestiningtyas]

This song made NCT 127 had an epic debute...at least for me 😁 The fact that 4 months after this MV, mark and haechan got to debuted with NCT Dream, made everyone who just got into NCT late just confuse, are they (mark and haechan in NCT127) debuted in the same year or long after NCT Dream, while the timeline was NCT U, NCT 127 then NCT Dream in the same year 😅

[@caielarmbrister8341]

I dont love the fashion but i dont hate it...does that make sense 💀 I love the song though 🙂

[@back2u842]

For the 1st time you didn't recognize Jaehyun lol.

[@rjkpop]

Haha, it was the hairstyle that threw me off

[@Jaehyuns_Dimples]

Ngl this is not my favorite 127 song but its not my least favorite either. And the hair and outfits are... something that's for sure. This was a strange time for 127.

[@rjkpop]

It was definitely an interesting idea and look considering the looks in The 7th Sense

[@heyvkj2412]

I lost 50 pounds just watching Firetruck dance practice

[@rjkpop]

😂

[@lovefan81]

I think Yuta never had a bad hair day. Maybe it‘s in his contract 🤔

[@aerynkelly]

What I don't understand is why you get so many spam comments. So many to report on this one!

[@rjkpop]

I’ve wondered that as well…🤔

[@sophia216]

is your bias jaehyun ?? lol

[@rjkpop]

Yes!🤗
